Terence Cave's work has made a major contribution to the rethinking
of the relationship between literature, history and culture over
the last half-century. Retrospectives brings together substantially
revised versions of studies written since 1970: together they
constitute a searching methodological investigation of the practice
of reading past texts. How do our ways of reading such texts
compare with those practiced in the periods when they were written?
How do we distinguish between what a text meant in its own time and
what it has come to mean over time? And how might reading provide
access to past experiences? The book's epicentre is early modern
French culture, but it extends to that culture's ancient Greek and
Roman models, its European contexts, and the afterlives of some of
its themes, from Pascal via George Eliot to Angela Carter.
